Here's the recording of last night's (Friday 2023-12-15) 7.6-hour-long 
Memo of the Air: Good Night Radio show on 107.7fm KNYO-LP Fort Bragg 
(CA) and KNYO.org:

This was the first Memo of the Air show that was heard on the real air 
all the way south in Mendocino since I lost the use of KMFB in November 
of 2011. Marshall Brown teaches media tech and related material at 
Mendocino High School, and he manages KAKX, Student Powered Radio there. 
He ran a test of KAKX' automation grabbing my stream. It was only for 
the first hour, but sometime this week we'll work out exactly what hours 
to join for further Friday nights' shows. I appreciate the opportunity 
and the lift.

This show features the usual announcements of concerts and plays and 
yard sales, as well as a lot of community input on the Navarro River's 
problematical sand bar. Xeno on so-called electrosensitivity. A plan to 
erase millions of dollars in local medical debt. Craig Louis Stehr. A 
little about my bid to admin. the MCN Announce listserv rather than let 
them shut if off because of a few bad apples. Poetry, astronomy, 
Garrison Keillor, Doug Holland, Bruce Anderson, David Gurney, David 
Herstle Jones, Niels Weisberg, Louis Bedrock, Clifford Allen Sanders, 
Eleanor Cooney, Ralph Nader, Flynne Washburne, Paul Krassner, Zane 
McNeill, the Comtesse DeSpair, Suzi Zipp, Sebastian Iturralde, my dream 
journal, jokes, Kent Wallace, Ezekiel Krahlin, and Tom Whitwell's 52 
things he learned in 2023. And The Shadow from Xmas Eve 1939.

I'm happy to read your writing on the radio. Just email it to me and 
that's all you have to do.

Besides all that, at https://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com you'll find a 
fresh batch of dozens of links to worthwhile items I set aside for you 
while gathering the show together, such as:

Rerun: The Bloody Olive. I don't know what happened since last year and 
all the years before. If you can find a version of this Christmas 
classic with English subtitles, or that you can turn on generated closed 
captions in English for, send a link, please. If you speak Dutch or 
French, this'll do fine for you.

And this is coming in 2024. A channel of news that's written, assembled 
and delivered by imaginary people who move their hands in 
current-streaming-delivery fashion as they speak. "Let's start with our 
reporters. You can see us, and hear us, and see our lips moving, but 
no-one was recorded saying what we're saying. I'm powered by 
sophisticated systems behind the scenes. And I can speak in any 
language..." The Black imaginary newscaster in the demo seems gay to me. 
I'm not sure why I think that. His gentleness? I don't know. (You might 
have to click the sound on.)
